The other day I did a review of my 2012 Resolutions<\/a> and it’s now time to write some for 2013!<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>1. Go dancing at least once a week.<\/strong>
\nLast year one of my less successful resolutions was to dance “more”<\/em><\/span>. This year I’ve decided to continue the resolution, but this time be a bit more specific. I have to go\u00a0somewhere<\/em> at least once every seven days.<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>2. Check bank statements once a week.<\/strong>
\nLike the entry above, this is a resolution carried over from 2012 which has been made a bit more concrete in an attempt to force me to do it properly. Last year I said “Keep better track of finances”<\/em><\/span>. In 2013 I have to log into my Internet banking once a week.<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>3. Complete Reading List<\/strong>
\nI’ll be publishing my 2013 reading list here later this week.<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>4. Give up Facebook for Lent<\/strong>
\nNow that I’ve got my blog posts publishing directly to Facebook, I’ll have absolutely no reason not to get that digital monkey off my back…<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>5. Guard free time more jealously<\/strong>
\nLast year was the “Year of Martha<\/a>“. My schedule was packed and at times things got quite stressful. My aim this year is to make absolutely sure I don’t take on too much and that I get plenty of time to rest and recharge. This will involve a weekly Holy Hour, come what may. 2013 is going to be the “Year of Mary<\/a>” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Resolution #6. Invest more time in friendships<\/strong>
\nThis resolution flows from #5. I have some really good friends. I should spend more time with them.<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>7. Blacklist TV Shows<\/strong>
\nAlso flowing from #5, I’ve got to stop wasting time watching junk on TV. No more Scrubs, Family Guy, Always Sunny in Philadelphia etc.<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>8. Run a half marathon and do a 15 minute plank<\/strong>
\nHere’s the mandatory fitness resolution.<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>9. Cook a proper meal once a week<\/strong>
\nI really do enjoy cooking<\/a>, but I don’t do it nearly as often as I should. That will change.<\/p>\n

Resolution #<\/strong>10. Write the book<\/strong>
\nI’ve had “Write a book”<\/em> on my bucket list for several years now and this year I’m going to finally cross it off. It’s going to be an\u00a0expansion\u00a0on my Leading Bible Study<\/a>\u00a0blog series and I’ll probably publish it with Lulu.com<\/a>\u00a0(although I will probably also send the manuscript to Ignatius Press just for fun of pretending to be a real author).<\/p>\n
